Pair that with relatively affordable living costs, warm weather year-round, and an ever-growing community of remote workers and you have a pretty epic place to live. Here are seven top reasons why digital nomads like me are flocking to Mexico City!
7 Reasons Why Digital Nomads Flock to Mexico City
Earlier this year, I spent some time living in Mexico City and it was fantastic. I don’t often love massive cities, but Mexico City is different. It’s an amazing place and I’d recommend it to anyone, without hesitation.
1. Cost of Living
Mexico City has a lower cost of living than many other major capital cities in North America or Europe. You can typically rent a one-bedroom apartment in the city center for between $600–$700 USD per month.
This affordability also extends to daily expenses. When I lived in Mexico City, I would regularly eat out for under $10 for a substantial meal in a nice local restaurant.

Eating and drinking out doesn’t have to be a rare luxury, you can do it regularly without having lots of disposable money. It’s a shame the same can’t be said of London, where I spent most of my 20s!
2. Cultural Richness
Mexico City is a fascinating treasure trove of different cultures; from its ancient Mexica (/Aztec) ruins to its vibrant art, theater, and music scenes. It’s one of the most exciting cities in the Americas and somewhere you’re extremely unlikely to be bored!
Mexico City is home to more than 150 museums. The Museo Nacional de Antropología is my favorite – housing a staggering number of artifacts telling the story of Mexico’s rich history, from neolithic times all the way to the modern age, this place really is a must-visit.
In addition, there’s a dizzying number of local markets, street festivals, and live music events held throughout the year which add to the city’s dynamic atmosphere. Whatever you’re into, there’s always something new and exciting to discover here.
